Dude perfect was my childhood. I so glad they decided to stay together and continued to make entertaining videos back then. I’m even surprised they still making mind blowing content today still as a group.

I'm glad to have done some donating to these guys. Seeing the wonderful things they do with Make-A-Wish, their wonderful families, and seeing great people they have become has been pure enjoyment for me.

[@Jeremyisyourhandyman]

It’s so difficult making that transition. KZbinrs, like myself who are not yet monetized, but you’re putting in overtime trying to create quality videos with the endgame being KZbin automation. now you get to call the shots. All the hard work was worth it, right?

[@connorrichardson5533]

Your content is so random

[@Jeremyisyourhandyman]

@@connorrichardson5533 Thank you for your feedback. Maybe that’s why the KZbin algorithm doesn’t like me. I am a certified welder, but when there’s nothing to weld, I fill it in with handyman work. As I grow my business, I will focus on Welding.

I also love that they are Christians as well. They are probably the only og youtuber that has never been in a big controversy.

They certainly didn’t plan to do all these things. But God sure did.

Not that they did have intentions of creating this but in the world of the internet nobody knew it would turn into this. Not just for them but the internet as a whole. Making money off the internet was always something I was told in school would never happen and now look at it

As Freddiew once said, “[The idea was never to make a company], it was ‘How do we keep making our stupid short videos’”

I aspire to have that much respect for 40k a year while making millions.

[@dranipani]

What I love about this story is that they were already successful. . I don't like the ideal of people who only had this and nothing else... 😅

[@breadstickz4]

I think they had intentions of getting sponsored and starting a business

[@bentobul5932]

And now they don’t work a day in their life anymore, well done.

[@A1313AR]

No

All these success stories have the same line “I didn’t expect it to blow up” whatever then you wouldn’t have been doing it so mcuh
